Kiss started as a gimmick and ended as a gimmick. Bon Jovi and Aerosmith did what they needed to do to extend being relevant. DLR went from the coolest guy in the world to a fruitcake dork. I saw him play a club in the early 90s, right after he cut his hair. He came off as super gay with none of th...

I'm surprised that you're surprised. Off the top of my head, I'd assume SOAD is the bigger band. Just looked over their discographies. Album sales from back in the day are pretty similar. SOAD's biggest album sold more than Korn's biggest album. SOAD also seems to have a stronger legacy and their m...

It’d be funny if he wind up doing podcast as much as he used to shit on all podcasts when that first started becoming a thing. He came off as so out of touch by making fun of podcasts, which have more in common with his original outlaw spirit than being part of a homogenized industry that's run by ...

You take a mortal man, and put him in control.

Alex vanHalen said yes, they knew they had a small window Van Hagar came to mind when I posted this thread. Even if you hated the albums, those guys loved working together and Eddie seemed rejuvenated with what he saw as a "real" vocalist. You can't say they weren't motivated. By the time...

I've come to believe that most bands have a set "shelf life" of chemistry and inspiration. And once it's gone, it's never the same, no matter how hard they try. Success tends to ruin the natural flow of human behavior, forcing bands to stay together out of obligation. Motley Crue is the b...

Yeah she is stunning.

How many grandkids do you think she has now?

The guy had three or four comebacks. Probably more. That doesn't happen on luck alone. (And granted it probably doesn't happen at all without Sharon in the picture, but that's another thread.) Just because he makes it look easy, doesn't mean it's easy. Otherwise, everybody would have his success. H...

We were all morons at some point. And very few people make it in the entertainment biz. But there's value in giving it a shot and believing in yourself. If you never got together with a group of friends or like-minded people and tried to conquer the world, you're missing out on one of the true life...

The girl I’m talking about didn’t talk. She was just standing in the crowd and pushed her chest forward when the camera landed on her At the 20.50 mark: https://youtu.be/uH5x6ol3Pzc?si=1m1RMCWm3VKa6FfH Holy shit. The movie we happen to be talking about was uploaded in full six days ago? The quality...

I knew someone would immediately bring up Motley Crue. The fans' self-hate for the genre is strong on this board. As for Kiss, they're somehow the world's most overrated and underrated band at the same time. They have semi-forgotten songs ("I Want You" in the '70s, "Who Wants To Be L...

Actually, you can go to the Sphere in Vegas now. The movie version of the U2 residency is by far the closest any technology has come to recreating a concert experience and making you feel like you're seeing a real band in front of you. No goggles or headset needed. When I saw it, I turned to my fri...

in 20 years the landscape is going to be a lot different. you will get to see any band in their prime, full 3d immersed experience from you living room with AI. as if you were there in 1985 or whenever. maybe 1935. it will be as real as you are alive today...with all the feels, sights, sounds, smel...

Just stumbled across the video for Enuff Z'Nuff's "New Thing" and god damn, that song's catchy and still sounds great. Not sure if it was released at the right time. One of those singles that could've gone to #5 or #65 on the Billboard charts, depending on how the wind blew that month. (J...

I remember seeing Nelson on some talk show back in the day (Arsenio or Rick Dees... maybe both) and being blown away by how tight they were as a live act. And this was back when I was a dumb teenager and didn't know the difference. As long as you didn't sound like Duran Duran at Live Aid, you got a...

NIckelback, they're the last big rock band right? Unless I'm missing someone. I wish The Darkness, The Struts, or Dirty Honey were bigger. I’d add Green Day to the list. My vote goes to Green Day. I thought they were "just okay" in the '90s, but I respect them so much now. They learned ho...

Dueling metal: Guns Ν’ tiny thrown objects By ROGER CATLIN Courant Rock Critic EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — A tiny thrown object that hit its target in ego-bloated, costume-changing Axl Rose cut short the Guns N’ Roses performance at Giants Stadium Thursday morning. Even so, the mammoth double headlinin...

Is Taylor Swift the biggest artist in the world right now? She won’t be around in 25 years filling stadiums. She’ll be 60 then. Yes. And she will absolutely be playing stadiums when she's 60. People on this board don't want to hear this, but Taylor Swift in her prime is a bigger draw than Guns n' R...
